Other details: Bryan Delate of the Truman Show and Vietnam War veteran presented a wonderful and inspiring speech to set the tone including snippets from Shakespeare. The event was sold out with guest celebrities including New York Commissioner for veteran affairs Lorree Sutton, Color Guard, senior military personnel, reality TV stars and young professionals from all walks. It was a charismatic evening where Reserve Aid brought High street and Wall street together to appreciate all the work done by our US armed forces. The evening concluded with a live auction and a charity raffle that was supported by New York’s most fabulous restaurants, salons, and spas. It was one of the most beautiful summer soiree supporting such a great cause.
